Rich is an excellent photographer and conversationalist. I had the most incredible shoot with him today. I felt completely comfortable and the conversation was engaging and open-minded. My favourite kind.

Pre-communications were perfect. Simple, straight forward and quick. His house is gorgeous and he has the most beautiful dog. There are plenty of places to change around the house and I met his wife Helen, who is equally lovely.

All in all, a highly successful shoot and one of my favourites to date, I hope very much to return and shoot with Rich again soon, and drink another bath's worth of excellent tea.

I highly, highly recommend.

Had a great shoot yesterday with Rich - awesome human with lots of interesting stories! I felt instantly comfortable as soon as I arrived at his home for the shoot :) We shot lots of mono portraits for his book project and they all looked fab from what I could see on the back of the camera.

I look forward to shooting together again and totally recommend!

Had the pleasure of meeting Rich at his home. Very welcoming & friendly on arrival. Pre communications were excellent, knew exactly what was expected of the shoot and his amazing project/book ideas and plans. I felt instantly comfortable shooting with him and conversation flowed.. in fact we couldn’t stop talking!

We shot black & white portraits. From looking at the back of the camera shots during the shoot I can say they look great! Rich is a professional at what he does & couldn’t fault him at all.

I had great fun doing some natural, smily, fun shots.. away from my usual glamour work

Would recommend 100% & definitely will shoot again!

Rich is ace! Got on from the minute he stepped through the door. We chatted ALOT, and we drank ALOT of tea! With all the chatting it’s almost surprising we captured any images, but we managed to break away to take a few! It was lots of fun, very natural, not posey. Great shoot and I’m really impressed with what I saw BOC.

Looking forward to seeing the results!

Highly recommended!

Thank you

I LOVED my shoot with RichE. He makes a mean cup of apple tea and is super laid back and easy to get on with. I loved his project idea or just trying to get a natural headshot, nothing too posed. I basically talked the hind legs off him while he snapped photos. I would highly recommend Rich, he made me feel very welcome and comfortable while being very professional.

WOW! That is certainly the way I like to shoot the most! Very good connexion straight away with Riche, very cool, fun and relaxed atmosphere. Pure collaboration and this is how we've ended up to create beautiful pictures with something special, a soul! Riche is a legend, a genuine guy who loves to capture emotions and knows perfectly how to do it. He's this guy that you can trust eyes closed and be friend with. You can feel it in the pictures, powerful black and white portraits, intense and real! I loved shooting with him and hopefully, we'll do it again! Obviously, 100% recommended! Thank you Rich for this opportunity! x

Ahhh... :-)

This shoot will be remembered for a really long time!

I had the pleasure of working with Rich on a very last minute shoot after he responded to one of my castings.

What an incredible creative and a lovely, lovely guy. No reference that I write is going to do justice!

Top shoot! Amazing photographer!

I saw some of the images on the back of the camera and am really happy with the results. I’m sooooo looking forward to seeing the final results.

If you are lucky to have the chance to work with Rich, do not hesitate - highly recommended by me.

Thank you for creating such a great atmosphere, for the hospitality and also for sharing your creative ideas. (Which are AWESOME)

Really hope to work with Rich again soon.

ahh what can I say?

My favourite shoot for a long time.

Rich has an unbelievably down to earth character, what you see is what you get. Attentive, caring, thoughtful and talented!

Pre comms were bang on as well as communication through the shoot. We vibed off each other really well and this showed in the images, totally relaxed both ourselves and damn it...we made art I tell you!

We worked as a team thinking through the perfect lighting and angles, I even got to see the captured images on the back of the camera, Rich has caught the true essence of me, i'm so pleased with them! Really can't wait to see the final images...just feel sorry for him because he truly did capture so many good ones!

Would absolutely recommend ! and would work with him again in a heart beat :)

I have so much to say about this marvellous photographer and absolutely lovely man!

We shot again yesterday (i've lost count now of how many times we've worked together) and once again i had the most wonderful day just in his company.

He is such a lovely guy, hilarious, down to earth, understanding easy to get on with and just an all round legend.

He knows what he wants and knows how to capture it. The results of our shoots are always incredible and thought provoking

I would recommend him to anyone for sooo many reasons.

Thanks so much Rich, yet again. I can't wait for the next time.

Rich was recommended to me by Belle Eve after she worked with him on her South Coast tour a few weeks ago. I got in touch and pretty soon it was all arranged - Rich's pre-comms are clear, precise and efficient so I knew exactly what to bring and expect. He picked me up from the station, made me breakfast (what a gent!), and even introduced me to his exuberant and very cuddly labrador! During the shoot itself, Rich was relaxed, chatty and allowed me lots of freedom to move and pose and I felt. We captured some beautiful and emotive portraits that I'm excited to see uploaded, and all in all it was a wonderful morning. Highly recommended and I hope we can shoot again soon!

Belle Eve

What a total Gentleman.

Rich was an joy to work with, super chilled, lots and lots of coffee and some great conversation. I actually think we spent more time chatting than actually shooting! His communication before and during the shoot was fabulous.

Rich showed me some of his previous shoots and omg what a stunning photographer! I cannot wait to see the result of our shoot, and hopefully we can shoot together again.

I highly recommend!

Much love,

Eve

Rich is an absolute DARLING! I actually can't believe that we've been living 5 minutes away from each other for the past 12 months and we only did our first shoot recently!!

I genuinely adored working with Rich. He's such a fascinating, wonderful, friendly, professional and very respectful person, who has a brilliant sense of humour and is a very talented photographer!

We clicked straight away and spent the first 1hr30 of the shoot chatting, which flown by!! It felt like I was catching up with an old friend. ☺

Despite spending half the shoot talking, we had a very productive shoot and produced the most beautiful results! Rich's lighting setups are phenomenal and incredibly flattering!

This was one of my most enjoyable shoots to date and I can't wait for our next shoot!

Thank you for looking after me!

After many many years I got to catch up and work with Rich once again last week at my home studio!

It was so nice to catch up and shoot again- yeeeears had passed since our last shoot so there was a lot to catch up on! :)

Rich, as always was full of enthusiasm and was super to work with. We took loads of lovely 'relaxed' images- using natural light and my continuous lights.

I really liked a lot of the portraits we did :D I just look soooo different now ;)

Thank you Rich- really hope we can do it again soon- lets not leave it yeeears ever again! Haha! :)

I have had a good few shoots with Rich and he really is my favourite photographer. I love him to bits. He has fantastic ideas, an amazing personality and is a great laugh! I could not recommend him any more.

Thanks for another wonderful shoot Rich :) xxx

The boundlessly creative Rich is fantastic to work with and fascinating to be around! We shot during my recent visit to the area and worked on an ongoing project of his. Despite the weather being against us, Rich was not put off and amid a lot of laughter, we got some great shots!

Highly recommended, i look forward to working together again and thankyou for the biscuits. :D

Had a smashing shoot with Rich yesterday! Rich has a fabulously easy way of communicating that really puts you at your ease, and this really carries through to the shoot. It was a wonderful relaxed warm atmosphere and I think I spent most of the day laughing (Rich has a wicked sense of humour!)

Smashing ideas, lovely atmosphere, fun conversation, I could have stayed talking all day and night!

(Also - thought of the right word! - 'Cremistry' - creative chemistry!)
